Nia Archives, Elmiene & The Sunday Service Choir, Westside Gunn, and more have been added to the bill for All Points East 2026, set to open for Jorja Smith and Tems.
Back in March, Smith and Tems were announced as co-headliners for the London festival, and set to take the stage in Victoria Park on Friday August 21.
They join previously-announced headliners Lorde (August 22), Deftones at Outbreak Fest (August 23), Tyler, The Creator (August 28, 29), and Twenty One Pilots (August 30), and acts supporting them were revealed as former NME Cover star Kwn, along with Ayra Starr and Odeal.
All five of those artists on the line-up have previously appeared in the NME 100 list, too, with Tems being featured in 2022.
Now, more names have been added to the line-up, including Bradford-born record producer, DJ, singer, and songwriter, Nia Archives. The 24-year-old new-gen junglist will be taking to the stage having won MOBOs in 2022, been shortlisted in the BBC Sound of 2023 list, and made BRITs history by being the first-ever Junglist to receive three nominations in one year in 2025.
Joining her will be British soul artist and former NME Cover star Elmiene – who recently dropped a “brilliantly monumental” debut album ‘Sounds For Someone‘ and will be performing with the Sunday Service Choir, as well as UK R&B star Destin Conrad, who also graced the NME Cover.
Other new additions inlcude Westside Gunn, who has collaborated with MF DOOM, A$AP Rocky, Gorillaz, Tyler, The Creator and more, and multihyphenate artist Lungelihle Zwane, AKA Uncle Waffles.
London star and UK garage star DJ EZ joins the line-up too, as does Birmingham-born R&B songwriter and producer Wesley Joseph, and two more former NME Cover stars, British-Nigerian singer-songwriter Bellah and Sekou.

Smith released her second and latest studio album, ‘Falling Or Flying’, in 2023. Last month, she returned with the song ‘Don’t Leave’ – originally recorded in 2015 – to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her debut single, ‘Blue Lights’.
Tems’ debut full-length record, ‘Born In The Wild’, arrived the following year. The latter then shared a surprise EP, ‘Love Is A Kingdom’, last November.
